In this adventure Stephanie and Lula are put in charge of the Red River Deli which had recently been acquired by the Vinnie Plum Bail Company after the owner of the business absconded when on bond. It is only when they turn up for work on the first day that they discover that the last three managers have disappeared each leaving behind one shoe.
Lula is an expert with take away food - eating it that is. However, she and Stephanie discover that preparing food and keeping customers happy is not that easy. When too more men disappear from the back of the restaurant Stephanie feels guilty that they disappeared when helping her. The search for the missing men and the perpetrators of the kidnappings intensifies with Morelli and the police, Ranger and his team plus Wulf involved. Meanwhile, when not at the deli, Stephanie continues her role as a bounty hunter. A busy life!
In the tradition of other Stephanie Plum mysteries there is plenty of humour, danger to vehicles [and buildings], lots of junk food, continuation of her relationship with Morelli [when time permits] plus simmering tension with Ranger. An enjoyable holiday read.
